Bruner Family

Cave junction, OR

Story

The Bruner family’s world changed forever when they lost their beloved husband, father, son, and brother in a tragic Ocean boating accident just out side Gold Beach, OR. A man remembered for his generosity, his kindness, his sense of humor, and his devotion to his family, his absence leaves a hole that can never be filled. Now, his wife is facing life without her partner and their children are navigating the heartbreaking reality of growing up without their dad. Every day brings both the weight of grief and the challenge of moving forward. Through it all, the Bruners continue to cling to the love he left behind — the memories of fishing trips, family dinners, and the way he always made them feel safe and cherished. The road ahead is not easy. There are financial burdens, emotional struggles, and the daily tasks of raising children without the support of the man who meant everything to them. But they are also surrounded by a community that believes in lifting them up, showing them they are not alone in this journey. Supporting the Bruner family means helping a grieving wife and children find stability and hope in the midst of unimaginable loss. Every act of kindness — whether big or small — is a reminder that they are held, loved, and never forgotten.
